JUST IN: Fresh suit asks court to compel FEC to declare Buhari unfit

Another suit has been filed before the Federal High Court in
Abuja asking for an order compelling the Federal Executive Council
to declare ailing President Muhammadu Buhari unfit to continue to
hold office and another mandating the National Assembly to
constitute a medical panel to verify his fitness.

The suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/671/2017, was filed on Thursday by
the incorporated trustees of a civil society group, Kingdom Human
Rights Foundation International.

Osinbajo, the Executive Council of the Federation (otherwise known
as the Federal Executive Council), the Attorney-General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), and
